What Your Modern Day Tiara Says About You

Headbands aren’t just for private school girls trying to spice up their otherwise generic uniforms. They’re for women who know what they want and aren’t afraid to show it. They’re for women who know that an outfit is as much about the accessories as it is about the clothes. They’re for sartorial royalty.

A headband will be the crowning achievement of your wardrobe. Let us help you decide which one puts your mind at ease.

Crown Jewels

Want the modern equivalent of a princess tiara? Go for an ornate headband, with your hair parted flawlessly down the middle and scooped into a low braided chignon. Whether adorned with pearls or crystals, an embellished headband will be the jewel in the crown of your accessory game.

Arabian Nights

Channel far-off lands, heavy with the smell of incense and the chimes of ouds, in a brocade turban. This look is mystical and exotic, and will have your place secured as the most intriguing woman around. Shape the perfect curls to tumble down your back like a cascade of mint tea.

Nature Deity

Would you rather wear flowers in your hair than diamonds around your neck? Shake your mane loose in textured, messy waves and top it off with a floral garland. You’ll look like you belong frolicking barefoot in the woods and splashing about gleefully in lakes.

Snow Queen

It may be freezing, but you can melt everyone’s hearts in a knitted headband. As a Snow Queen and you have an image to maintain, so pair it with a fur stole and leather gloves. Refuse to let icy gales give you that wind-swept look by parting your hair into sleek side-swept bangs.

People’s Princess

Not into all the pomp and circumstance? Opt for a plain headband that will have you crowned an even more down-to-earth “People’s Princess” than Lady Di was. Gather your hair into a ponytail so everyone can see those genuine, caring eyes of yours.

“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown”—but a headband is a load off. Let your heart rule your head(band) and opt for one which best mirrors who you are.

Fall head over heels with your new accessory.
